Producer Information

Mission Hill Winery is a Canadian wine producer located in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. A broad range of wines are made from a number of grape varieties. These include Riesling, Chardonnay, the Pinots Blanc, Gris and Noir, plus Shiraz, and the red Bordeaux grapes. When conditions allow icewines are made from Riesling and Vidal. The estate has estate vineyards in each of the subregions of the Okanagan Valley; including Kelowna, Naramata Bench, Southeast Oliver and Black Sage-Osoyoos. Plots are mostly sited on benches above the valley floor with enough of a slope to increase exposure to sunshine and allow frost to drain downhill. The company is part of the BC Sustainable Winegrowing Program. In the vineyards, inter row cover crops are left to enrich the soil and encourage insect life. The company has a well developed composting system supplying the vineyards and a local nursery. It was also an early adopter of drip irrigation to moderate water usage. There is even a hibernation facility for Western rattlesnakes in the Black Sage Vineyard. Sustainable practises are also prevalent in the winery. This includes using efficient environment friendly lighting and refridgeration systems, recycling waste water, and using lighter bottles. The portfolio is split into five ranges. The top tier is the Legacy Collection. Oculus (from Osoyoos vines) and Compendium (mostly Osoyoos plus some Oliver fruit) are Bordeaux blends. Quatrain combines Merlot and the two Cabernets with Syrah. Prospectus is a Pinot Noir and Perpetua is a Chardonnay.
